Police: shooter won't face charges

Brunswick police say a man who shot and killed a robbery suspect and injured another yesterday won’t face charges. Investigators say two men entered a home around 1:30 yesterday morning. They say at the time, about a dozen people were gathered inside the home, and one of them pulled out a handgun and began firing at the suspects. One suspect was killed, the other is in critical condition. Under Georgia law, a person can use deadly force in self defense if they are in fear of great bodily harm or death.
